Using a program theme
One of the options of using a software programme lime Easel.ly is that they have a number of pre-designed themes. There isn't a great deal of choice, but you can just use a theme and make any changes to it that you want. This was the first one I designed.Example of Easel.ly theme
My infographic using template
Although my infographic looks quite different - I made changes that only took a short time:- Changed background colour
- Change colour of circles
- Added different text
- Copied one circle and added to right side of diagram
- Increased size of circles
Pros and cons of using a program theme
- A pre-determined theme can offer you a good layout and starting point.
- Can be timesaver if you're not comfortable with using a program like Easel.ly
- Can take longer changing something that is already there, than starting from scratch.
Creative tips
- Make sure that all text is easy to read (some of this is a bit small I think)
- Lighten and darken objects to give more depth
- Even if you use a pre-determined theme - you can still style it to suit your own needs.

Great info! I have always struggled with adding graphics to my web pages. Infographics will make it easier to add quality content and break up the text.
On a side note, your infographic for your coaching site is very motivational! I should print it out and hang it in my cubicle at work to help me keep a positive attitude throughout the day.

Beverley that was a great resource!
But then I do enjoy all your resources.
I am working on a couple of infographics for my websites. Being so visual, myself, I just love doing them. I think using infographics on a website, along with videos and images helps to break the written content up and keeps people on your website longer and helps with return visitors. I also find that it is an excellent way to repurpose content.
Looking forward to viewing your new infographic!

Thanks Judith
I love them. You know I really dislike it when I see messy graphics and infographics are great for me because you can put a lot of graphics together in a compact space. They just really suit my type of creativity. Also because I've tried doing three for other people it's broadened my experience.
